Product catalog summary
Product Overview:
TRUDESIGN® Tail Long Thread 120° fittings are high-quality marine composite fittings designed in New Zealand for connecting hoses to threaded fittings. They are available in five sizes and are made from a glass-reinforced nylon composite, offering high strength, stiffness, and resistance to corrosion and electrolysis.

Key Features:
  • Manufactured from glass-reinforced nylon composite for high strength and light weight.
  • Corrosion and electrolysis resistant, eliminating the need for electrical bonding.
  • Chemical resistant to diesel, petrol, and antifouling paints.
  • UV resistant, preventing degradation or discoloration from sunlight.
  • High-quality surface finish that resists discoloration.
  • BSPP (Parallel) threads for universal compatibility with marine components.
  • Operates in a wide temperature range from -20°C to +100°C.

Specifications:
The fittings use BSPP threads, which allow for greater engagement and watertight sealing. They should not be used with tapered thread valves or fittings.

Installation Procedure:
  1. Ensure the receiving fitting has a clean, undamaged thread.
  2. Apply marine-grade thread sealant or PTFE tape to the thread.
  3. Screw the Tail Long Thread 120° into place, tightening to a maximum of 16 Nm.
  4. Fit the hose using hot water to soften it, and secure with twin hose clamps.

Servicing:
Minimal servicing is required due to the composite material's resistance to corrosion. Regular checks for secure attachment and hose clamps are recommended.

Tail Long Thread 120°-1

PRODUCT INFORMATION Tail Long Thread 120° Designed and made in New Zealand, TRUDESIGN® Tail Long Thread 120° fittings are the superior composite connection for fitting hose to threaded fittings. Available in five sizes; TRUDESIGN® Tail Long Thread 120°s are moulded from a glass-reinforced nylon composite. High strength, high-modulus glass fibres within the material provide dramatic strength, stiffness, toughness, and dimensional stability. TRUDESIGN® fittings eliminate the corrosion and electrical bonding problems associated with metallic fittings. Tail fittings are designed for twin hose clamps, and to never crush. Key Features: Feature: Manufactured from a glass-reinforced nylon composite High strength and light weight Immune to corrosion and electrolysis Long life with no concerns over decreased performance due to corrosion. No bonding required Chemical resistant Impervious to diesel, petrol and antifouling paints Will not degrade or discolour with ultraviolet light from the sun High quality surface finish Will not discolour with green film as similar bronze fittings do BSPP (Parallel) threads Universal compatibility to TRUDESIGN® Ball Valves, threaded fittings, and other marine components Large operating temperature range Suitable for all marine environments, from -20°C to +100°C Page 1 of 3 LEADERS IN MARINE COMPOSITE FITTINGS Web: www.trudesignplastics.com Technical enquiries: support@trudesignplasti

Tail Long Thread 120°-2

PRODUCT INFORMATION Specifications: Threads on the Tail Long Thread 120°s are BSPP (British Standard Pipe Parallel). TRUDESIGN® parallel threads are designed so that sealant or PTFE thread tape is applied, and then the fitting screwed into place. A main advantage of parallel threads versus tapered threads is that there is far greater engagement between two mating parallel threads which in turn provides maximum strength and watertight sealing ability. Since sealing is achieved through use of a sealant or thread tape, fittings can be positioned anywhere around 360°, unlike tapered fittings that...
